~~Is the year 2020 part of this century?~~
Edit: am dumb
Yes but 2000 was not.
Sorry, I meant 2000, and thinking about it, yes I guess that's correct

Whoa. People born around this time will (hopefully) live to the year 2100.
mind be blown.
In 2100 I will be 126 so I hope not. Not unless they have massively improved geriatric medicine.
But imagine a worst reality, what if they do invent immortality drugs, and then we're stuck with these idiots forever? What if it's just century after century of the flat Earth conspiracy theorists (despite us clearly having a moon colony) and Andrew Tate.
Your take is not the correct one, longevity treatments (immortality drugs isn't something that can be made) will roll back your physical age by reparing you. Not just forcing life to stay in a decaying body.
So at 126 you'll run around playing basketball and listening to heavy metal, if that's what you like.
Well you can give me a new heart but unless they do something about the brain there isn't any point.
The brain is "just" cells too, they regenerate and so forth. No specific problem keeping it in a young state.
I'm 36 and it's not impossible that I'd see the year 2100 so yeah.
I feel this negative outlook isn't very healthy. Yes there are problems, as there have been at any point in history. That doesn't mean nothing good happens or can happen.
Go make some nice things happen to yourself or someone else.
I like having a smart phone, but maybe that's just me.
Yes. The fediverse wouldn't get much awareness if it wasn't for Twitter and Reddit absolutely shutting themselves. I wouldn't even be here if that never happened.
That's technology in a nutshell. We moved off of one platform to join another.
If we didn't, we'd still be sending each other messages on AOL and join chatrooms to have discussions.
At least this time around there's no central server that can be shut down killing everything that exists in that platform. Obviously AOL Instant Messenger and many other popular messaging apps from that era suffered from this exact fate.

Assuming you meant "shitting themselves" - Lemmy is doing that too, it just wipes better, at least for now.
It's a better description than mine.
yes. a lot.
